It is not hard to imagine that many a young person’s dreams for a career in entertainment has been squelched due to the recent financial crisis in the U.S. Student loans are diminishing with strict credit requirements, parents no longer have money to pay for expensive schools costing upwards of $30 to $80 grand per year, yet the industry calls for experience and education. On the other hand, alternative programs like the Film-Connection, are less drain on the budget and also put real practical education in the hands of students for an affordable amount. Even Yahoo had a news story on vocational education today, stating it can "provide individuals with the skill sets they need to pursue careers in high-wage, high skill occupations." These jobs are competitive, and the Entertainment Career Connection’s “learn by doing” method works, by getting a student’s foot in the door for places that can actually hire them, even while they are still taking the course. Here's a new Acting Program in Los Angeles .
The Entertainment Career Connection, Inc., offering certificate programs in all aspects of film making, radio broadcasting and audio engineering, just announced its new Film-Connection film acting mentorship program, offering the most comprehensive private acting training on the market. No other program combines both the truly rigorous craft of an acting program and one-on-one training with an industry professional.
This course is available only in Los Angeles and New York, the company has partnered with the Joe Anthony studios to teach its new film acting course. In addition, the company announced a complete re-design of its Film-Connection film school alternative website.
This industry is notoriously unforgiving to the unprepared. So how actors train is critical to their success, and often makes the difference between those who find work and those who don't. This particular program combines both a rigorous acting craft program with one-on-one, results-oriented career-coaching sessions and an intense curriculum. The bottom line -- it can lead them to generating opportunities rather than waiting for the phone to ring.
According to Jimi Petula, the founder and CEO of Entertainment Career Connection, "Making it as a working actor isn't just about being at the right place at the right time. When opportunity knocks you are either prepared to seize it or not, and if you are not ready you will blow it."
During tough economic times, students in any entertainment field need value for their money. No other program combines both the truly rigorous craft of an acting program with one-on-one result oriented career coaching sessions, so students will have a better chance of working upon graduation."
Anthony's Los Angeles acting program students learn to imaginatively create the world of the story in a way that truly resonates for them as an individual, allowing them to go into any professional situation such as a casting office, on the set or in a rehearsal to do their job with a sense of wonder instead of dread or fear. It is in this state of mind that they are free and able to live authentically and express truthfully -- from "action to cut" while doing their job.
Anthony's practical approach to acting involves strengthening the three specific muscles an actor needs to be truthful and authentic: imagination, or the ability to make fictional circumstances real; empathy, which is the essential ability to be sensitive and vulnerable to circumstances, and; concentration, as opposed to the circumstances of the set.
Students engage in six-month $8,450 program series. This includes both written lesson and in-person coaching concepts focusing on a curriculum of both career coaching and the craft of acting.
The curriculum includes: Getting Started Business Basics, Cold Reading, Monologue, Taking Action, Scene Study, and Launching Your Career.
